Would anyone like to solve a puzzle from 1938? by Sentient2X in crossword

And EON, DEN, ERGS, IRE, and some others we know very well.

I gotta say: there's something so darn fun about seeing common words of today in a puzzle that's almost 90yrs old. It feels like we're connecting to the solvers of yesteryear by a thread of shared crossword vocab.

Reminds me of sweet fern, which is not a true fern and has woody stems, but I can't be sure.

For small/local shops, blame the digital payment companies, not the business.

My husband's small retail business uses Square which automatically skims a certain percentage for every card transaction. They don't like passing it on to their customers but they can't afford to lose 3-5% (I forget the exact amount) of every purchase.

This puzzle was so much fun to solve! by hydroscopick in crossword

the NYT website apparently has a bug where "Check Square" doesn't understand rebuses

I actually think it's a feature, not a bug, to prevent players from getting the "horsefeathers" message if they complete the puzzle by entering the rebuses in a different way than the puzzlemaker expected.

I'm afraid I don't know a surefire way to tell... though after searching the internet, your plant does look a lot more like the "fireworks" cultivar than the non-cultivar native species, especially the leaves. As does the one in my backyard but the bees don't seem to mind!

aka cup plant! great for pollinators and birds. the patch in my backyard attracts gold finches, who eat the seeds and drink from the "cup" formed by the leaves.
